"It's apple time again," a young farmer said,
as he unloaded a crate of Macintosh apples at
his stand at the Union Square Greenmarket.
"Nothing better."
At just after sunrise that morning, the farmers' trucks
pulled in, from farms around the Hudson, upstate New
York, and Vermont. I love to watch as this square in
the city transforms into a market, as it has for the
last 30 years.
All day people bustled around in search of tomatoes
and squash flowers, spinach, green peppers and late
season corn. They bought bunches of lavender gathered
in twine and apple-pear crumble crisp just baked in an
upstate oven the night before.
